Hello everybody, I just released wmpower 0.4.2...

Mostly bug fixes:

Fixed a memory allocation issue that on rare occasions could make wmpower crash

Fixed small bug that made wmpower print forever that it would not fast charge the battery as it was already at maximum capacity

When calculating battery time, and battery is charging, now wmpower displays time remaining until battery is fully charged instead of how much time would be left if we were running on battery power

Pezhman Givy kindly reported a bug that made wmpower crash on startup when checking for cpufreq support, if this support wasn't there... version 0.4.1 fixes it :-)

Here goes wmpower 0.4.0...

Hello world, this is new (well, not this new) year's first release, and it promises to be the best one so far!
(Yes, I know I said this already ;-P ). What's new:

Added option to redirect wmpower output to the system logger.

Added support for CPU frequency scaling (2.6 kernels only).

Now wmpower calculates battery time directly if it fails to get it from ACPI, APM, or whatever other means... It is far less accurate, but at least you get some numbers ;-)

Added small fix to make it compile on ppc hardware... Problem reported by Benjamin Rich

Added '-geometry' command line argument, thanks to Johan Vromans

Don't allow manual PM status changes (i.e. actions triggered by wheel mouse up/down, button clicks) when in mo_meddling mode. Bug reported by Gabor Papp

Fixed a battery (mis)ordering issue, thanks to Michel Ganguin

Added support for any number of fans under generic ACPI.

Fixed code so that wmpower doesn't fail compilation in some circumstances complaining about symbols already defined

Added compile optimizations for K6 and Athlon-64 processors

Random minor bug fixing ;-)

Also, as you can see, the site layout has been completely redesigned!
